1. Why describe a job?

The activities and responsibilities of the role should be appropriately reflected in the job description. When well-written, it creates a realistic image of a work and answers the question, “What does the person in this function truly do?” A job description not only outlines the tasks of the position, but it also lays the groundwork for attracting, developing, and keeping people, as well as laying the groundwork for optimum work performance by clarifying responsibilities, anticipated outcomes, and performance evaluation. It is also a crucial component in maintaining a fair compensation system and ensuring legal compliance. The document should be examined and modified in accordance with the annual performance evaluation cycle.

The job description comprises enough information to identify primary duties and vital functions as they currently exist. They give the information required to classify the post, not the person; consequently, they are “incumbent neutral” and are not dependent on any specific attribute of an incumbent (such as knowledge, skills, abilities, performance, dedication, loyalty, years of service, or degree). The document should not cover every detail of how and what work is done so that it remains helpful even if small modifications occur. Job descriptions can be prepared collaboratively by the supervisor and the employee, but they must be approved by the supervisor. A job description includes the following elements: job title, job purpose, job tasks and responsibilities, needed qualifications, desirable qualifications, and working circumstances.
